@RJ My question was, why we need to allow for so LONG lead-in times. Now I see that the lead-in time calculation might be flawed because it depends on the length of a track. Bug or feature?

Example:
Having a track with 1:00 min length gives 0:08 min lead-in time , having a track with 7:00 length gives 0:57 min lead-in time.

From a practical point of view - nobody spins the record more backwards cause a track is longer.

Idea:
Lead-in time could have a value of 2(4?) bars, based on the tracks BPM.
This allows to use the lead-in time as originally intended and you could also us it to create exact drop-ins to a tracks beginning.

Using the picture from #9 i could imagine to change the triangles to be only visible on a beat , with a filled one on the 1st beat in a bar. Drawback: This works only with a fixed time signature (like 4/4 ).
